Beschreibung

A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive BiasSo much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias-and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right.In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity-an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this bookdescribes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life;diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; andrecommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about ourselves and others.
The social sciences offer rich resources for understanding how to reduce stereotyping and prejudice. By thoughtfully integrating them with biblical perspectives on human worth and sin, we gain hopeful, practical guidance on how to perceive the world more accurately and love others more generously.
